So, a couple weeks ago I was wandering around on Deal Extreme looking for other stuff to order with my heatshrink tubing (which they apparently were backordered on ), and I found out that they have several cheap little servos. I've been wanting to play around with servo control for a while now, especially now that I'm finally starting to get into microcontrollers, but it's always been hard since they cost so much (cheapest I'd seen any elsewhere was ~$10 each). So, anyways, these were ~$4-5 each, the Tower Pros are rated at at 2.1 kg-cm, and the Mysterys are rated at 1.3 kg-cm. They ended up being smaller than I was expecting, but that's fine since a lot of the things I'm wanting to play around with require pretty small ones anyways. So, here they are:
Other than the all plastic gears, they actually feel pretty well made. Definitely better than I was expecting for $4. I figure at the very least these will be good for experimenting and prototyping, and if I decide I need something better quality later I can get them once I know what I'm looking for.
Once I get these home and start using them, I'll update with how well they work.
